Gurbaz well on his way to a century. This is incredible

jinxed him

A **** scores 84(45) and you still don't crack 180 - poor, really.

 

[trundler]

They got less than 45 in the last 6 overs.

not sure why we’re switching formats again when we’re talking about t20s. Also not sure why a couple of ‘match winning performances’ mean he doesn’t spray it around. Ebadot has a match winning spell in NZ, does that mean he isn’t wildly inaccurate most of the times?

SL not having a whole lot of pace options is exactly why I’m calling them as a not so good T20 side

I was saying that he is no Mohd Sami who sprays the ball around... Any bowler who can bowl at that pace & has a good channel delivery is a asset in any format. Lahiru may have not done as well in T20s yet but given the options SL have he would most certainly be an upgrade that's the point. Vs SC sides he will obviously be a handful.

Sami was an all-time meme at test level but did quite well in ODIs and T20s so Kumara still has some way to go before he’s even a Sami

Gunathilaka being useful in T20s for once, Sri Lanka’s game to lose from here on. Gurbaz deserved better batting support

 

[Socerer 01]

Also what is the point of Karim Janat if he hasn’t bowled in any game and bats below Rashid Khan towards the end? Specialist fielder?

 

[Xuhaib]

Did anyone see Mohd Nabi son the other day could easily be 20.

Rajapaksa makes everything seems so easy.

He As composed as Sangakkara when he is in the middle

careful, a wild Himmav might appear outta nowhere

SL look like a likely finalist... Could beat India/Pak if they win at least one toss. Mendis played some deadly slog sweeps.
Chahal losing fan poll for best leggie was the highlight... Rashid Hasaranga & Shadab all trumped him in fan poll lol... I

Haha, just need to say it three times in front of a mirror

 

[Xuhaib]

This Lankan side is quite likeable I will not mind if they go all the way.

 

[smash84]

the toss is going to be a huge factor in this Asia cup just like last year's World Cup. This is awful

 

[trundler]

Was dew a huge factor in the last match? Didn't watch the whole Lankan innings. Both of their chases seem to have been aided by choking.

I don't think Sangakkara has ever scored 34 runs off just 14 balls. And he's certainly not done it in a composed way.

Was not equating runs scored in a certain amount of balls.

I was highlighting the aesthetics.

Not sure if there's much to compare between Bhanuka's combination of timing, power, and imperiousness and Sangakkara's unnecessarily flashy cover drive straight to the fielder in the covers and the complete averageness of all the other shots he plays.

Ahh, I got you.

A Rajapaksa > Sangakkara
